Surveillance services In the event sector

How do our professionals support the event sector?

Covert surveillance professionals are able to operate without the knowledge of a potential threat, they are able to understand, monitor and predict behaviour often referred to as "Behavioural Detection Specialists" trained or experienced in the detection of criminality and terrorism.

Events attract a vast amount of people and are prime targets for criminals and terrorists to prey upon, with the lessons learned from the Manchester terror incident in 2017,  reviewed under the Kerslake report, resulting in the campaign initiated by Figen Murray the mother of Martin Hett a victim who lost his life in the bombing, to introduce "Martyn's Law" officially known as the "Protect Duty" a legislation to introduce "stronger anti-terror security measures".
The responsibility of which has now been extended to event management and venue's to ensure adequate measures are in place, using our surveillance professionals to identify, report and call in the proportionate and required response from the correct assets, able to give real time location information to guide overt security teams, or emergency services, who are able to engage with the identified risk, without burning the cover of the covert surveillance professionals, the deployment of covert professionals is an effective and proven early threat detection and deescalation solution, offering a robust resilience to public safety and well being, meeting a specific and identified threat from criminality and terrorism.

How do covert professionals bolster the deployment of overt event security?

A person with intent will always look to avoid being identified, until they are ready carry out their plans, being able to see the overt security, they are able to identify those, that they wish to avoid or pass undetected, to be able to carry out an act of criminality or terror, overt security may not be specifically trained or in a position to identify body language, specific behaviours, to assess intent, covert professionals are able to operate undetected remaining fluid and adaptable, positioning to identify and confirm suspicious behaviours, and action intelligence lead threats, the threat is often unaware of these assets in operation, giving the covert teams the edge, to quickly communicate any situations or possible threats, providing a live dynamic assessment of the situation, directly to event control or the required  available response assets, providing resilience to the overt event security teams and deployed public services.
Surveillance teams are able to offer robust, dynamic, pro-active protective solutions for any event, in any environment, providing additional support to first line of defense, offering preventative response measures and capabilities, far beyond overt event security personnel, reducing the impact of crime and terrorism, to the public and the local community.
